If you scraping the plastic that means you are too close :) I only filter when I am sure for 100% I will fit. Never scraped a handguard on the car :P

I'm sure they will also happily sell you some rubber pads to protect the black metal guards, which protect the plastic OEM handguards, which protect the rider's hands... lol

Wouldn't the bar ends be projecting past the guards and take the first hit?
